Housework sucks. Stay home and let Mom do it. She likes cooking and cleaning for you. Its a way for her to express her love for you.

It's good to live on your own at some point, because you really don't want your first time away from home to be when you are living with someone/married. I think the divorce rate is so high because of situations like yours, a bunch of kids who have been living with Mommy and Daddy who have never had to buy toilet paper in their life are suddenly thrust into running a household, petty arguments ensue, and people realize they should have been using their early twenties to grow up, rather then to be comfortable.

Wow. This post is spot on, Matty. I am in the exact situation you are describing. I got used to living at home where my Mom took care of housework. Now w/ my wife, she's a total slob she sucks at housework and we basically live on takeout, and I resent her for it.

Been living at home all my life, even through college.

I'm just afraid that I might be missing out on a lot that I can't experience living at home.

At least you realize it. I think you work on Wall St right? if so, a maid is much cheaper then marriage counseling.

Did you grow up in Long Island? I foresee MANY MANY MANY of my friends going through the same [censored].

No, I grew up in Manhattan, but my parents are Old World. I know what you're referring to about Long Island though, I know some guys in that situation. One of my colleagues who grew up on L.I. just moved out of his parent's house and he is a 29 year old attorney.
